Dil
Raju
has
proved
himself
as
a
producer
with
a
good
taste.
Almost
all
the
films
produced
by
him
are
hits
and
are
evidently
minimum
guarantee
films.
He
shares
a
good
relation
with
Prakash
Raj
and
in
all
his
films,
the
latter
would
invariably
portray
one
role.
Prakash
Raj
is
not
only
an
artiste
but
also
a
producer.
He
has
produced
many
films
like
Abhiyum
Naanum
in
Tamil.
Upon
Prakash
Raj"s
advice,
Dil
Raju
agreed
to
dub
the
film
in
Telugu.
Surprisingly,
the
film
was
an
average
film
in
Tamil.
Dil
Raju
was
in
a
dilemma
and
decided
to
tinker
the
film
and
reshoot
some
scenes
by
adding
a
new
role
played
by
Jagapatibabu.
This
has
helped
in
saving
the
film
Akasamanta
and
generating
a
good
revenue..
The
storyline
is
very
simple
and
cute.
Sudhakar
(Jagapatibabu)
takes
his
daughter
to
a
park
and
starts
playing
with
her.
Raghuram
(Prakash
Raj)
also
reaches
there
after
an
evening
walk.
On
watching
Sudhakar"s
struggle
with
his
daughter,
Raghuram
recollects
his
old
memories
and
shares
his
experiences
in
bringing
up
his
daughter
Abhi
(Trisha)
with
Sudhakar.
He
tells
Sudhakar,
how
he
brought
her
up.
He
recollects
the
day
she
was
born,
when
he
dropped
her
at
school,
admitted
her
in
high
school,
the
days
when
she
refused
to
go
in
his
jeep
but
rather
ride
a
bicycle,
the
complaint
she
made
about
a
boy
who
gave
her
the
first
love
letter
and
how
he
pacified
her,
her
admission
in
JNU,
Delhi
and
left
home
for
two
years,
her
first
crush
with
a
Sikh
boy
called
Joginder
Singh
(Ganesh
Venkatraman),
the
way
she
explained
her
love
to
Raghuram,
who
could
not
digest
the
fact
(in
fact,
Raghuram
himself
had
married
a
girl
without
the
consent
of
her
parents),
and
how
he
agreed
to
her
marriage
with
Jogi.
The
narration
is
very
impressive
and
the
director
has
really
taken
the
entire
audiences
into
the
subject.
Unintentionally,
in
many
scenes,
the
audiences" eyes
go
wet.
PLUS:
Prakash
Raj's
performance
is
the
ultimate
in
the
film.
If
there
had
been
any
other
artiste
in
place
of
Prakash
Raj,
the
film
would
have
been
very
boring.
Prakash
Raj
is
an
acting
genius.
His
facial
expressions,
his
body
language,
his
dialogue
modulation
and
in
fact
every
scene
involving
his
performance
is
memorable
and
adorable.
The
director
has
really
filled
in
a
lot
of
freshness
and
sweetness
of
parental
love
towards
children
throughout
the
film.
Cinematography
by
Preetha
is
another
asset.
He
has
been
able
to
capture
the
greenery
and
the
nativity
in
a
perfect
manner.
He
has
not
gone
for
unnecessary
experiments
and
has
presented
what
is
in
the
mind
of
the
director
on
the
screen.
Especially,
the
way
the
camera
captures
the
moods
and
facial
expressions
of
Prakash
Raj
is
very
interesting.
Marthand
K
Venkatesh
has
also
done
a
very
good
job
in
editing
the
film
in
a
perfect
manner
and
there
are
absolutely
no
boring
scenes.
Dialogues
penned
by
three
writers
are
good
to
listen.
Lyrics
are
okay
and
the
song
'Aatala...
Paatala...'
is
melodious
and
haunts
the
audiences
even
after
returning
from
the
theatre.
MINUS:
Though
the
film
is
very
good
to
watch
right
from
the
beginning
to
end,
the
director
turned
a
Nelson"s
eye
towards
Trisha"s
character.
He
has
given
weightage
to
Prakash
Raj"s
role,
and
ignored
all
the
other
characters
including
that
of
Trisha.
Trisha
has
tried
to
excel
in
her
character
but
to
no
avail.
The
first
half
is
completely
entertaining.
In
a
bid
to
fill
melodrama,
the
director
has
stretched
the
film
beyond
limits
after
the
interval
bang.
This
has
left
some
boring
scenes
here
and
there.
Likewise,
the
scenes
where
Prakash
Raj
prepares
for
an
interview
to
join
Trisha
in
a
school
appears
nonsensical.
Though
Vidyasagar"s
music
is
not
that
great,
the
re-recording
has
elevated
the
mood
of
the
film
at
times.
REMARKS:
Children
grow
up
year
after
year
in
an
impressive
manner.
Their
parents
too
will
mature
with
their
growing
age.
The
director
has
tried
his
best
to
explain
this
through
his
film
as
to
how
a
father
gets
mature
year
after
year.
Every
daughter
and
every
father
must
watch
this
film
and
the
film
would
definitely
attract
the
family
audiences.
Though
it
had
no
mass
elements,
the
spread
of
mouth
talk
would
work
in
a
positive
manner.
